3 Claims.

This invention relates to garments and particularly to what is known as a slip, the object being to provide an'improved construction which will automatically fit itself to a figure whether the figure is slightly larger or smaller than the garment.

Another object of the invention is to provide a slip wherein the front and back panels are arranged kin the, bias or diagonal, with the seams at the sides, so that the body of the'garment may take the correct position when in use.

A further object of the invention is-to provide a slip with an upper end or brassire section which presents front and rear panels independent of the body but connected thereto so as to present the desired support for the busts without interfering with the proper fit of the body.

In the accompanying drawing- Figure 1 is a front view of a slip disclosing an in Fig. 3, whereby a comparatively slender or a comparatively stout person may wear the garment and the garment will be caused to fit properly.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the brassiere section extends from the upper'part of the garment downwardly a certain distance, andthen abruptly stops. The lower end portions of the brassiere section'present a truncated triangular shaped construction having curved ends so that the brassire section and body may conform. properly to -front the same idea is presented, namely, thethe body.

sire section 2 is formed from what may be termed front panels 6 and 7 and rear panels 8 and 9.

These panels are connected together along the respective sides by suitable seams 10 and 11,

which seams extend downwardly to the bottom 50 'of the garment andpresent the front and rear panels 3 and 4, together. It will, therefore, be seen that the seams on the body are at the sides and that they are a continuation of the seams' which connect certain parts of the brassiere panels together. Each brassiere panel at the lower end is formed with an arc-shaped edge 12 secured by the stitching 13 to the body 1, and the respective panels are secured by the stitchings 14, 15, 16 and 17 to the extending A-shaped projections 18 and 19 of the body, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The parts are so proportioned that the adjacentportions of the brassiere panels 8 and 9 may overlap above the A-shaped projection 19; though this is not essential. However, the seams 16 and 17 at .the top of the A-shaped section 19 merge into seam 20 for connecting the adjacent portions of the brassiere panels 8 and 9 together. At the seams 14 and 15 merge into seam 21 for connect ing the panels 6 and 7 above the A-shaped extension 18 in a similar manner to the way seam 20 connects panels 8 and 9 together above projection 19. This provides a very strong connection and is adapted to take up quite a strain. The front panels 6 and 7 are intended to act in a limited sense as breast pockets with the lower edges 12 positioned below the busts and with the projection 18 yielding to secure a proper fit. 'At the rear the panels 8 and 9 and section 19 will adjust themselves automatically with theback, and this adjustment will not affect the body 1 because of the diagonal cut of the panels and The arrangement of the panels as just described with their curved lower edges immedi-' ately below the busts, secures a proper fit around the busts and at the same time does not distort the garment at the waistline portion 5 wherebyv the waistline may automatically stretch laterally or vertically to present a proper contour to the body and round out certain parts thereof so that a uniform and more or less molded appearance will be presented, as clearly shown in Fig; 3. By providing this appearance to the slip or undergarment presented, a dress applied thereover will naturally take on the same contour or shape and present the desired appearance.

As illustrated in the drawing, there are provided shoulder straps 22 which are connected to the highest point on the respective panels 6 to 9, inclusive. It will be noted that the upper part of the panels are substantially A-shaped and by reason of this shape the seams 20 and 21 are positioned comparatively low, so that a modestly low cut dress, both front and back, may be worn without disclosing the slip.

I claim:

1. A slip made of bias cut material comprising a body having front and rear panels, said front panel having at the top an A-shaped central .projection extending longitudinally of the garment and an arc-shaped convex edge on each side of said A-shaped projection, and a brassiere section connected with the upper end of said body, said brassiere section being formed with a pair of front panels fitting against said arcshaped edges and against said A-shaped projection, each of said panels of the brassiere section at the bottom portion being formed as a truncated triangle with'the bottom edges of the brassiere section shaped to conform to the shape of said arc-shaped edges of the body.

2. A slip made of bias cut material comprising a body having front and rear panels, both of said panelshaving at the top an A-shaped central projection extending longitudinally of the garment and an arc-shaped convex edge on each side of each of the A-shaped projections, and a brassiere section connected with the upper end of said body, said brassiere section being formed with a pair of front and a pair of rear panels fitting against said arc-shaped edges and respectively fitting against the sides of said A- shaped projections, each of the panels of the brassiere section at the bottom portion being formed as a truncated triangle with the bottom edges conforming in shape to said arc-shaped edges, the respective panels of the brassiere section at the sides of the garment abutting, and a seam at each side of the garment extending from the top of the brassiere section to the bottom of said'body.

3. A slip made of bias cut material comprising a body having front and rear panels, said front panel having at the top an A-shaped central projection extending longitudinally of the garment and an arc-shaped convex edge on each side of said A-shaped projection, a brassire section connected with the upper end of said body, said brassire section being formed with a pair of front panels fitting against said arc-shaped edges and against said A-shaped projectiomeach of said panels of the brassire section at the bottom'portion being formed as a truncated triangle with the bottom edges of the brassiere section shaped to conform to the shape of said arcshaped edges of the body, said brassiere sections extending above said A-shaped projection, and a seam above said A-shaped projection for connecting said brassire sections together.
